The Colony of Skopje Skopje is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.626 billion Skopje Skopjeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Skopje Skopjean economy, worth 87.8 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,178 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned and the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skopje Skopje's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Skopje Skopje is ranked 41,345th in the world and 1,429th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring 61.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
